The job for the weekend was to continue construction of a cyclepath around the new new Aylestone Park which itself is bounded by the canal.

We had a small fleet of dumpers and excavators at our disposal, the first task was to lay fine stone onto previously placed stone ...

... and for moose to compact, sometimes using a roller!

Tea break

The path  isn't exactly straight!!

Saturday evenings meal was provided by a local chip shop free of charge.

Sunday saw us continuing with the path ...

... with a few distractions, well it was muddy.

Another task was clearance of the towpath at the bottom end of the park...

... whilst another gang excavated and stoned up a new section of path.

One of the last jobs was to clean plastic sheeting from the axles of the dumpers!
